We are also self funded. (DAL funds the plan above your contribution. UHC only manages the plan for us. They are paid a fee for this)
The reason we pay so much for Doctors etc is simple. Health Care Companies provide a ton of Medicare and Medicaide coverage. Their repayment is no where near that of the cost. Ergo someone needs to pay for it. That is you and your health care plan.
